![[Exult]](images/exultsm.png)
UI_book_mode_ex(bool is_scroll, int font)
UI_book_mode_ex(bool is_scroll, int font, int gump)
Displays a book or scroll on screen. Text in the book or scroll is supplied through normal conversation methods.
Parameters
| Parameter / value | Description |
|---|---|
is_scroll |
Flag determining whether to display a scroll (true) or a book gump (false). This determines the area occupied by the text, and will determine what shape from 'GUMPS.VGA' to display if none is specified. |
font |
Integer that determines what shape from 'FONTS.VGA' will be used to render the text. |
gump |
Numerical value determining what shape from 'GUMPS.VGA' will be used. The text area is not affected by this parameter. |
IMPORTANT NOTES
Unlike the '
UI_book_mode' intrinsic, this intrinsic performs no translation of any kind if the avatar's 'READ' flag is set. This is an intentional design feature -- for example, text written in Gargish and being displayed in a Gargish font should be translated by more than a mere font substitution. Also, the gump shapes should be 'compatible' with the standard book/scroll shapes as Exultwill write the text in the same region of the screen as it does for standard books/scrolls.
